About the Detroit auto show

The ELR is based on the Converj concept unveiled at the Detroit show in 2009. It uses a version of the hybrid electric powertrain from the Chevrolet Volt. That powertrain combines a T-shaped lithium-ion battery pack with a generator for extended range.

The teaser photo shows the same silhouette as the concept, which looks like a lower, wider version of the Cadillac CTS. GM said in October that the car will be built at its Hamtramck assembly plant in Detroit, with the battery pack coming from the Brownstone Battery Assembly plant in Michigan.

We’ll get more news on the 2014 Cadillac ELR at the Detroit auto show.

The annual North American International Auto Show, better known as the Detroit auto show, has maintained its place as a barometer for the entire industry. For 2013, NAIAS takes place Jan. 14-27 and will host concept cars, green cars and supercars from all the major automakers, including what’s expected to be a highlight this year: the new 2014 Chevroelt Corvette.
